SUNY Downstate ABSN 2020-2021

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone,

I've started this thread so we can discuss and share our experiences applying to SUNY's ABSN program for 2020. This is my second time applying. I waited till the very last day of the deadline to submit my application last year (I knowww) since I had taken the TEAS and had just gotten the results. However, I've already submitted my application for the upcoming year and hope to get a call for an interview. Looking forward to chatting with you all.

Sidenote: I really like the upgrade they did to the online application. So much more user-friendly.

When did you interview? It seems acceptances go out one week after interviewing.

Hello,

For those of you who have interviewed for the program how soon after did you guys receive your final decision? I'm super anxious I literally check the status of my application a million times a day ?

I heard back two weeks after my interview date.

@Episkey congrats! does you application status still says "screening in process"?

@Bachelor Thanks! and yep, still says "screening in process"

Hi All

I just got a called for interview tomorrow AM and I'm flying PM that day, right after work. I just told them I will be available next week and they said they will call me tomorrow for the availability next week.

I'm afraid I will lose the spot due to rescheduling. Should I call them back and ask go for the interview tomorrow?

Anyone encounter this situation before? I'm freaking out.

I think you're okay to wait, because they seem to plan things very soon before they happen. I'm not sure, though. Sorry for the stress!

Hey @bozluhrmann, are you going to start a group for those accepted? Or does someone else want to? I have no faith in my group-making abilities

Soon! Still working through a bunch of pre-matric stuff, but soon! Though I don’t use Facebook very often, it might be one of the best places to get everyone together. Any objections?

For those accepted do you have to pay the $150 within 7 days? Or just accept the spot in the program within 7 days?

My life was changed today! I was accepted. FB sounds like a great platform to me! See you all soon!!!! Ahh!!!!
